Evergreen Senior Living - Orland Park

Jeanne

Evergreen Senior Living-Orland Park seemed a little depressing. The entryway wasn't as nice and people were just kind of sitting alone in wheelchairs, not interacting with each other. I didn't get a good vibe mostly. Other than that, it was fairly new and it was nice. The lady that gave the tour was also very nice.

My mother-in-law has moved into Evergreen Senior Living - Orland Park. It has been a good experience. Friendly staff. Everything is good over there. The community is friendly and clean. The people inside seem to enjoy themselves. I haven't seen anybody not with a smile. It's nice that they can have a snack counter that they can go to throughout the day. They have a couple of common areas. The only thing I would suggest is that, in the first common area where you first come in, there should be some sofas or something. Because people come in and want to sit next to their mom and their dad, but they can't. That's the biggest room in the whole senior facility, and it's all separate seating. It should be more like a living room type of atmosphere. My mother-in-law is a Catholic, and she would like to go to her services, but I don't think there's a lot of opportunity for religion over there. Outside is nice because you don't have all that heavy traffic and no factories around. It's quiet and peaceful, and when you go in, it's clean, and it's got a happy environment. However, they have a lot of turnover in staff. I think they're limited on the helpers over there. As for the activities, other than family members hanging with their parents and doing things, I don't see any staff members out there putting anything together. The money is brutal, too, so I can't give it that high value because anywhere you go, it's just outrageous. But it's pretty nice compared to everything else that's going on with the prices.

We put my mom in Evergreen Senior Living - Orland Park for two weeks. They gave her her medicine, they took her down to her food, and they laid out her clothes for her. They had activities there. They had a Hawaiian evening. The first two weeks, we kind of spent a lot of time with her. We were keeping my mom more active than them. It's our first time putting her in an assisted living place. Everyone was kind of worried, so we wanted to make sure she was good, so we kind of spent a lot of time with her and took turns going and coming. The staff were very understanding, very caring, and very nice. There's nothing negative I can say about them. It's all positive. Of all the facilities I visited, they have the best room. It's a 700-square-foot room. It has a walk-in closet, a big bathroom, a big shower and bathtub, a little kitchen area, and a little dining area. It's the most spacious room in any facility, I think. It's new, so that was kind of encouraging for us. I was able to put a queen-sized bed in there for my mom, and it fit perfectly. Their food was super. They'll take her down to eat, or they'll bring her food to eat. And if she didn't like it, they'll bring her something different. They were like really, really nice and easygoing. There are always snacks out, there's always coffee out, there's always cookies, soft drinks, and water. They always have those available for them.

My grandmother is in Evergreen Senior Living - Orland Park. It's a home-type environment. It's very cozy. The meals are appealing. They keep the residents pretty engaged in the memory care unit and I feel that they are very well taken care of. So far, no issues. The staff is very engaging with the residents. The accommodations are very nice. The facility is extremely clean and very comfortable. You have to provide your own furniture, but it's adequate space for what's needed. The closets are spacious, and the bathrooms are spacious as well. She's in a studio with a kitchenette. They have a beauty salon that's accessible to both the assisted living and the memory care unit. They also have a courtyard that's secured for the memory care unit.

I've had my dad for a short stay at Evergreen Senior Living - Orland Park. We were very happy with it, my dad has no complaints. It's a newer facility, around five years old, so it was new and everything's updated. The people seemed to be loving and caring and everything seemed to be in order. The staff seemed to be very caring, and there was a nurse who made sure that my dad takes his medication. They seemed to be very thorough and it was a beautiful facility. During the few times I was there to visit my dad, they have groups of people doing activities. They had a TV in a common room where they were singing along to songs and doing different things for memory care. They're working with the people there, so they weren't just sitting in a chair doing nothing. They weren't any more expensive compared to anyone else, they were the average price. They have a beauty salon available on the premises and they have an outdoor terrace that they can go out on.

Evergreen Senior Living - Orland Park was nice. The rooms were adequate. The place was nice. The food was good. I think the care was good. They had a popcorn ice cream buffet so that you could go in and help yourself at any time. They had a library and a computer room, and they had nice amenities. It was fairly new when my cousin was there.
